Kojima’s said that after development on Metal Gear Solid: Rising is completed, he is going to “seriously look” at creating a new Zone of the Enders title.  

“My team and I want to develop a new Zone of the Enders, but it turns out that Kojima Productions has limited resources in terms of teams and directors,” Kojima told JeuxFrance during E3.

“So at this stage we have not yet had time to work on Zone of the Enders 3 which has been postponed at the calendar. However, I think after Metal Gear Solid: Rising, I will seriously look Zone of the Enders 3.”

Kojima’s promised that a Zone of the Enders 3 will eventually happen, even saying that it’s on the top of his list. A rumor that Kojima would reveal a “major PS3 exclusive” at TGS surfaced only a few days after E3, if that means anything.

We’ll see how everything plays out then.
